This could probably go without saying, but Tulip is not a big fan of fireworks. We live a few miles from the fairgrounds where they have a decent fireworks display ever year. This year we were too lazy to drive over there and watch them, so we hung out at home and watched TV with kitty. All of our windows and the sliding door were open. The wind must have been blowing in our direction because when the fireworks started, they sounded like they were right here. For the first few minutes kitty just turned her head towards the door and listened. We kept talking to her, trying to reassure her that things were OK. She was pretty calm, but after a couple of pretty big booms, she decided she’d had enough. She came over and lied by our feet, well within petting distance. I got up and closed the door so it was a little quieter. She stuck close by until the noise was over. She did well through the whole thing, but it was very obvious she could have done without.
